A Modern Introduction to Differential Equations

A Modern Introduction to Differential Equations presents a solid yet highly accessible introduction to differential equations, developing the concepts from a dynamical systems perspective and employing technology to treat topics graphically, numerically and analytically. This text is designed to be appropriate for a wide variety of students and exists as a natural successor to any modern calculus sequence.

Henry Ricardo is professor of mathematics at the Medgar Evers College, City University of New York-Brooklyn. Professor Ricardo is currently mentoring students doing research in Ordinary Differential Equations under a grant from the Alliance For Minority Participation (AMP); participated in an ATLAST workshop (July, 1997); served as a Faculty Consultant to the College Board's 1997, 1998, and 1999 Advanced Placement Calculus Readings; served as a member or chair of various review panels for interdisciplinary proposals submitted to the NSF Undergraduate Faculty Enhancement Program (Washington, D.C.: 6/15-6/17/94 (chair) and 6/16-6/18/93)
